7. The Chariot
Meaning
If the chariot is to arrive at the desired destination, the two horses have to run at the same speed. But synchronicity is very hard to achieve. The driver of the chariot needs to check the direction and make constant corrections. In the same way, we should constantly check our goals in life, and adjust our actions accordingly.
Upright
Achievements, winning, driven by desire, not afraid of conflict, determination, channeling energy, discipline.
Reversed
Failing to get results, distracted by conflicts, trying hard but efforts are misguided.
Visual Description
A young charioteer leans forward, gripping reins as two horses — one white and one black — surge ahead over a shallow body of water. The driver wears a patterned tunic and a dark cloak that billows behind him; a distant hilltop town with yellow buildings and red roofs sits in the background. The white horse has ornate tack with swirling red decoration, and the black horse follows closely beside it. The scene is framed vertically, emphasizing forward motion and the meeting of opposing forces.
